An excerpt from the interview with Kate:
Today we’d like to introduce you to Kate Fox.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Many people get into my field because they are exposed to it through their own personal injuries. Conversely, I was auditioning for art schools for dance and needed to make more money than my minimum wage children’s shoe sales job if I was going to attend a conservatory and be able to pay for it all. My older sister had just finished massage therapy school and suggested I give it a try. I blindly signed up for it and in the process found a passion and talent for anatomy, kinesiology, and bodywork.I attended CalArts and got anyone on my treatment table that I could, which started my specialty in working with artists. I always worked in therapeutic and medical settings, and my practice did support me through school and my professional dance career, both financially and physically.
I had career offshoots that felt like separate tangents — arts administration, mentoring, teaching anatomy, production management. I opened and closed a few offices in my solo private practice. I cultivated myself with education and found that my knowledge was both challenged and deepened while serving as faculty at both CalArts and the National Holistic Institute.
What felt like 20 years of zig-zagging was actually a linear ascent. All of my endeavors culminated into what I am doing now. I believe whatever you experience in life truly comes in handy at some point in your journey. I certainly have lived that!
